CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 281

A business needs a recovery site but does not require immediate failover. The business also wants to reduce the workload required to recover from an outage. Which of the following recovery sites is the best option?

Answer options

• A. Hot
• B. Cold
• C. Warm
• D. Geographically dispersed

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Warm, as it offers a balance between cost and readiness, allowing for a quicker recovery than a Cold site without the constant resource allocation of a Hot site. A Hot site requires immediate failover capabilities and is resource-intensive, while a Cold site has longer recovery times and is less prepared. A Geographically dispersed site may add complexity without immediate benefits for this scenario.
